Otavalo

On the way to Otavalo we had to cross the equator for a quick photo stop. We had a talk from a guide about how the giant calendar we were standing on works. Then the guide tried to sell us a single page paper pamphlet for US$10. We laughed in her face.

Otavalo is a famous market town in South America. Unfortunately, it wasn't market day, so we looked around the few touristy stalls that were there and I went for a cheap chinese meal with Carl and Simon, who leave Dragoman in a couple of days.

We return to Otavalo on the next leg, hopefully on a weekend.
